Geography and environmental studies are two closely related and burgeoning fields of academic enquiry. Both have grown rapidly over the past few
decades. At once catholic in its approach and yet strongly committed to a
comprehensive understanding of the world, geography has focused upon the
interaction between global and local phenomena. Environmental studies, on
the other hand, have shared with the discipline of geography an engagement
with different disciplines, addressing wide-ranging and significant environmental issues in the scientific community and the policy community. From
the analysis of climate change and physical environmental processes to the
cultural dislocations of postmodernism in human geography, these two fields
of enquiry have been at the forefront of attempts to comprehend transformations taking place in the world, manifesting themselves as a variety of
separate but interrelated spatial scales.

The Oxford Geographical and Environmental Studies series aims to reflect
this diversity and engagement. Our goal is to publish the best original
research in the two related fields, and, in doing so, to demonstrate the significance of geographical and environmental perspectives for understanding
the contemporary world. As a consequence, our scope is deliberately international and ranges widely in terms of topics, approaches, and methodologies. Authors are welcome from all corners of the globe. We hope the series
will help to redefine the frontiers of knowledge and build bridges within the
fields of geography and environmental studies. We hope also that it will
cement links with issues and approaches that have originated outside the
strict confines of these disciplines. In doing so, our publications contribute
to the frontiers of research and knowledge while representing the fruits of
particular and diverse scholarly traditions.
